Empathy Library Competition

You may have heard about the online Empathy Library I founded a few months ago. It’s been fantastic to watch it grow. It received over 100,000 visits in its first few weeks of life, and now contains reviews of hundreds of books and films which have been entered by its thousands of users. Anyone can join and add their favourites.

We’re now running our first competition. The message below, from the Empathy Library’s esteemed Head Curator, poet and novelist Sophia Blackwell, tells all. Quick – get your entries in by Sunday October 12!

Dear Friends,

Autumn’s here and it’s time to get our heads down. But instead of the latest notebooks and pencil cases, we’ve got an opportunity for you to get your hands on the books and films that might change your life- not just digitally, but in the post! Who can resist that? Read on for details of our first ever Empathy Library competition.

Some of you might have noticed that we’re on Facebook! But some of you might not be familiar with the contents of the Empathy Library. So…

PS: Competition Rules: Entirely open to international competitors but please allow extra time for delivery. If the book or film you choose as your favourite is particularly obscure, we might ask you to submit a second choice. If you already own the book or film you have nominated, feel free to choose another on the site. We’ll be in touch later about your reward- no need to write it into your review.
